The treasure chest
Treasure, that is what you are! Your rings may be costly, but your love for each other is priceless. That's why you tie the knot. A beautiful symbolic idea with a vintage edge. Put your initials in it or Mr. & Mrs and your new surname. Very romantic!

The tree trunk
Egdy, but stylish: the three trunk. Drill a hole in it and put the rings in there. Go to the forest together and pick a nice small trunk. Extremely easy to make yourself!

The shell
Are you true beach lovers? Then pick a beautiful shell as a ring pillow. Make sure to tie the rings well, for example by making a tiny hole through which you pull a ribbon.

Mini-coffin
This is obviously kind of a personal preference and you gotta love it, but the symbolism behind it is beautiful. Literally: till death do us part. A mini-coffin: getting married with a bit of a dark edge.

Ring pillows from flowers
For this you can ask the help of your florist, or do it yourself. Buy a some nice fresh flowers and put these in a piece of oasis. Also make sure the bottom is covered with flowers to make it look like a real soft pillow.

Coconut
For that exotic wedding vibe: the coconut. Cover the top with moss and done. Please note: you can't just take moss from the forest anywhere, so just buy some at your local garden store.

The coffee cup
Another original idea: the coffee cup. With or with saucer, it does not really matter. Find a cup that matches the color of your wedding. Add a mini pillow or other filling to it on which the rings will rest, wrap a ribbon around it and....wedding time!
